Brush in Leder-Gris when the boots are ALMOST dry, use the brush to drive the wax-oil INTO the leather, ALWAYS treat with Leder-Gris before storage. Altberg recommend only Leder-Gris products for use on their boots.

All leather will eventually show signs of cracking where the boot leather flexes, however, drying boots too quickly may shrink the bootsand will also harden the leather and accelerate flex cracking - regular use of Leder-Gris will extend the time before cracking occurs.
